Chandra Bahadur Dangi, a 72-year-old Nepali who claims to be the world's shortest man at 56 centimetres (22 inches) in height, receives red vermillion powder by his sister in-law as he prepares to head to Kathmandu from his village in Dang district, some 540 kilometres southwest of Kathmandu on February 21, 2012. Dangi will embark to the capital city as Guinness World Records experts are due to arrive in Nepal to measure a 72-year-old claiming to be the world's shortest man.
